Taipei Shuangfu Temple

An earth god temple (福德正神) occupying a three-storey apartment on Shuanglian Street (雙連街) in Datong, Taipei. It began as a modest shrine of uncertain age known as Shuanglian Fude Temple (雙連福德廟), rebuilt and renamed Shuangfu Temple (雙福宮) in 1891. Successive rounds of urban planning displaced it four times, from Japanese colonial era street rectification (市區改正) in 1910 to the widening of Chengde Road in 1966, after which worshippers bought the present apartment in 1971. Rebuilt following a 1997 arson attack, its shrines are stacked by floor, with the earth god at street level, Guangong (關聖帝君) above, and Guanyin at the top. It is featured in Parasitic Temples as the Townhouse Temple (街屋廟).
